For by Bread I have been taught ••o understand all outward Com∣••orts necessary for this life, and ••hat I am to pray that by direct ••nd honest means I may enjoy ••o much of this Worlds good, as ••s convenient and agreeable for my present Condition and just Oc∣casions. And by saying [daily] I intimate my Contentedness with present necessaries, and my pur∣pose to continue daily Prayer for them. And by thus Pray∣ing, I cast my Cares upon God: and declare that only from his Fatherly hand I expect the good things I want, and have the good things I enjoy; and that by his Blessings the Creatures aare sanctified to my moderate and thankful use.
I likewise under the term of daily Bread pray, That God would give me that continual supply of his Grace, which may sustain and nourish my Soul unto Eternal life.
